For them he is not less than a real God, We have seen him on the field but the way Sachin wrote the future of this village he became their God or ‘devadu’.
Situated in the state of Andhra Pradesh PR Kandriga is a small village which could never be spotted on the map but today this village is known as one of the model villages with well-laid out roads, 24×7 water supply, street lighting, a community hall, a playground, and a school for children.
Tendulkar visited this village in November two years ago and all he had seen there were mud roads and crumbling huts.
